Well sometimes it comes to that. I went in on a Friday only 1.5 hrs before they closed and was willing to walk if I did not get what I wanted...they gave me what I wanted after their usual dealership games...but they were light attempts...I could tell the did not want to be there all night!
They told me that it's being held for inspection. Based upon a Prcoessing date of 03/03/26, can anyone tell me how long it might take for this thing to actually show up?mine from production confirmed 7-23-25 (when they will decide to build my model/trim) to build (8-22-25) to delivery (10-13-25) was 52 days (build to drive off the lot).
japan port to portland port was 13 days ship travel time (9-3-25 to 9-16-25)
sat in port from 9-13-26 to 9-24-25 (i imagine this was for PIO installations)
port processing was from 9-24-25 to rail depart was 9-25-25
rail travel was from 9-25-25 to 10-4-25 (portland to daytons bluff, mn)
sat from 10-4-25 to about 10-11-25 when it was put on a transport and delivered 10-12-25 and i drove off the lot on 10-13-25
the transport company only transports when the whole trailer is loaded with vehicles, so it could take a while (1-3 weeks) before they will haul a fully loaded trailer to a dealer.
QC holds can take from a week to as long as 2-3 months.
Did you really have to ruin my day like that?! HA. Thank you for the brutal truth. Maybe I should not have dropped the $2800 in accessories that I did today quite yet!
F your life on that one!!! If this takes 3 more months I'm going to cry.
lol we are never in a hurry for a new vehicle.
Can the dealer get an update on this information whatsoever? Or is it just a total waiting game?QC holds can take from a week to as long as 2-3 months.
our 23 tundra was on QC hold from 22-dec-2022 until 20-feb-2023.
first pic is when it was put into QC hold and 2nd pic is when it was put on the transport truck
its a dealer only access screen in dealerdaily (called pipeline status). usually they restrict it to people above the sales people (ie: owner, sales manager, F&I)
Thanks for the info. They have been sending me the screenshots. But my real question is as can they find out if any of this is gonna be processed any faster or do they literally just have to wait and watch the screen like the rest of us. I’m asking him to send me a screenshot once a week.
those dates are inputted by the people after they process that step in the journey. its completely out of the control of any dealer.
Mine has already shown that the vessel has arrived and it’s in processing status. What am I missing.?those dates are inputted by the people after they process that step in the journey. its completely out of the control of any dealer.
its a read only status screen for the dealer. people that work directly for toyota logistics can input dates into the system.
the best you can hope for is the dealer is kind enough to send you updates weekly. i usually wait every 2 weeks after it hits a usa port.
if you can get the status where they show the ship name you can track the ship using any of the free ship tracking sites.
the pipeline status screen will show the ship name in one of the top lines as you can see below
mine was on sakura leader and i was able to track it across the ocean from japan to portland. just be mindful its a slow ship @ roughly 17-20 knots (20-23 mph) (around 4300 nm @ 20 mph = 215 hrs = 9 days continuous sailing in fair weather)
ship departed japan port on 9-3-25 and arrived portland 9-16-25 so 13 days which includes loading/sailing/unloading/waiting for port processing to start, port processing was finished on 9-24-25 then wait for railcar loading 1 day and then railcar travel 9-25-25 from portland to my regional railyard 10-4-25 daytons bluff, mn then transport from there via 3rd party transport carrier to minot, nd.
